My name is Jon Calvo. Some people spend their entire lives trying to fulfill a lifelong dream. I feel I’ve finally gotten closer to fulfilling mine. For some people the dream is to become rich or famous. My dream was simple: ever since I was a little kid, my dream has always been to lose weight and become fit. I was a big key all my life. On April 2010, at 5’5″, I reached my highest weight of 340 pounds.

I tried losing weight dozens of times since I was seven years old, but each time it ended in failure. No matter what though, this time I wasn’t going to quit. I began dedicating my entire being to achieving my dream. I’ve now lost over 175 pounds. I’ve experienced a lot of hardship in the past two and a half years. I was ridiculed on a regular basis. People would call me the fattest person they have ever seen. I felt like quitting so many times, but I didn’t give up.

You see, there’s one thing you should know about me. That boy who quit time and time again grew up to become the man who never gave up. Because I don’t just have willpower; I am willpower. I’m proud to say that there is nothing in this world that would stop me.
